“Workforce Development—Fostering Industry Partnerships: Maine’s workforce development system maximizes the Return-on-Investment for federal and state training funds and increases the involvement of private-sector job creators with the Workforce Development System to improve business relevance. Industry Partnerships have become a cornerstone of Maine’s workforce development strategy through the implementation of best practices from other states. These partnerships drive the entire system by identifying skill gaps and human resource needs in targeted industries and high-priority occupations. Partnerships serve to solve workforce challenges within their industries, thereby improving our local, regional and state economies.”
